Hello,

I just started looking at POI this morning.  On
http://poi.apache.org/spreadsheet/how-to.html under "Reading or
modifying an existing file", there is a link to sample code:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/trunk/src/examples/src/org/apache/poi/hssf/usermodel/examples/HSSFReadWrite.java

No matter what Excel file I try, I get

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.caci.dms.excel.HSSFReadWrite.main(HSSFReadWrite.java:162)

I've attached one of the failing spreadsheets - a very simple example.
 The program output is included below.

I'm using Excel 2003 on Win XP sp2
poi 3.6

Any idea what is going wrong?

Thank you.

Chris
